What I hate most in my life is this kind of treacherous villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
I frowned and said: "Where is the jade seal?"
The imperial guard kneeling next to Zhou Dezhi hurriedly held up the jade seal with both hands.
I finally felt relieved.
I was convinced that the jade seal was not a fake, so I gave it to Che Hao to keep it.
Che Hao said: "What should I do with them?"
I looked at them and said, "These soldiers have done meritorious service and helped me find the imperial seal.
Each of them will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.
Let them go back to their hometowns."
The soldiers hurriedly knelt down and thanked them.
My eyes fell on Zhou Dezhi: "Such a capricious villain will only endanger others if he remains in the world.
Pull him out and chop him up."
Zhou Dezhi was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
I never looked at him again and walked towards the inner hall with my sleeves rolled up.
Chen Zisu followed me closely, came to a quiet place, and whispered: "How do you plan to deal with Emperor Xinde?"
A strong murderous intent flashed through my eyes.
Chen Zisu comforted him in a low voice: "Why don't you keep him alive for the time being?
If you kill him now, there is no guarantee that the princes will not take the opportunity to attack."
I nodded and said, "What Mr.
Chen said is true.
I am not in a hurry to ascend to the throne of God.
Keeping him alive for a few more days will only benefit me."
In fact, I still have a plan in mind.
Emperor Xinde harmed me like this in the first place.
Parents, if we just let him die like this, wouldn't it be an advantage for him?
I want him to live a life worse than death and let him know what pain is.
I sighed and said: "I am very upset at the moment.
Mr.
Chen helps me draft an edict first."
Chen Zisu said respectfully: "What edict?"
I thought for a while and said: "Emperor Xinde's position will not be moved for the time being.
Let him return all his actual rights to me.
I will first take the position of Prince Supervisor of the Country."
Chen Zisu said: "Zisu will do it now."
Entering the inner room, Emperor Xinde sat there with dull eyes.
His spirit had completely collapsed, judging from my demeanor.
He should have guessed how things would develop.
I walked slowly to the opposite side of him.
Looking down at the tunnel, he said: "Zuo Zhuliu has been defeated, and the situation in the imperial city is under my control."
Emperor Xinde said in a hoarse voice: "He is Yinji's lackey, so what's so strange about this?"
I smiled and said, "Now that things have happened, are you ready?"
Emperor Xinde looked at me silently: "Do you want to kill me?"
My eyes suddenly became extremely cold, and I lowered my voice and said, "Do you think killing you will calm the hatred in my heart?"
Emperor Xinde showed a horrified expression on his face, then calmed down.
He smiled bitterly and said: "You are indeed ruthless, much more vicious than your dead ghost father."

I picked up the teapot, poured him a cup of tea, and handed it to him.
Emperor Xinde's hand holding the tea cup kept shaking: "You want to kill me" I laughed loudly and said: "If I want to kill you now, it will be like drowning an ant.
Is it so troublesome to poison the tea?"
Emperor Xinde pressed his dry lips hard, finally closed his eyes and drank the tea in one gulp.
I smiled wider and wider.
Emperor Xinde looked more and more frightened as I laughed: "You" he suddenly covered his throat.
I sneered and said, "You're not too stupid.
But you're not too smart either.
Although I don't want to kill you, I won't let you go so easily and let you talk nonsense."
I threw the teapot in my hand to the ground, and the porcelain shards flew in all directions.
One of them cut the skin of Emperor Xinde's forehead, and blood slowly dripped along his gray eyebrows.
I sighed and said, "It's strange that your blood is red."
Emperor Xinde's eyes were about to burst and he wished he could rush up and kill me.
I sneered and said: "I put dumb medicine in the tea to prevent you from talking nonsense everywhere.
Since you tell outsiders that you have had a stroke, you should lie in bed peacefully.
Whatever you want to eat or use, I will satisfy you.
But it’s a pity that you can’t go anywhere.”
Emperor Xinde suddenly grabbed the porcelain piece on the ground and rushed towards me.
I grabbed his arm and twisted his arm back.
Emperor Xinde was in pain and threw the porcelain piece on the ground.
I sighed and said, "Don't forget, the elixir of immortality is about to be refined, and I will feed it to you personally."
Emperor Xinde opened his mouth wide, unable to say a word.
I laughed loudly, pulled the door open and said loudly: "Che Hao" Che Hao heard the sound and walked in.
I said coldly: "Let him live here for the time being.
No one can approach him without my permission."
After walking out of the palace, Jiao Xin came over: "His Royal Highness, all the ministers are already waiting at Guangde Hall."
I nodded and said, "Let them wait a little longer."
Jiao Xin whispered: "I asked my men to check carefully and found that Yuan Tianchi's body is not in the Qinzheng Hall."
I frowned and lowered my voice: "Where are other places?"
Jiao Xin said: "I asked the little eunuch who was responsible for collecting Yuan Tianchi's body.
They clearly hid the body in a round urn in the east corner of Qinzheng Hall and prepared to bury him at night, but the body was missing at this moment. " I was surprised and happy in my heart.
I was happy that Yuan Tianchi finally escaped from the murderous hands of Emperor Xinde.
I was shocked that Yuan Tianchi must know my life experience.
The more people in the world know about my life experience, the more secrets I have.
Possibility of exposure.
Jiao Xin said: "Should we let people search for his whereabouts?"
I shook my head: "Forget it, Yuan Tianchi is an expert outside the world.
Even if I find him, he may not be willing to use me."
Jiao Xin nodded and said: "The situation in the palace has initially stabilized.
I have asked a thousand imperial guards to protect the harem.
The matter of Emperor Xinde has not been reported to them."
He walked closer to me and lowered his voice. : "We found King Qin in Jingyang Palace.
Such a big thing happened in the palace, but he was actually drunk."
A cold smile appeared on my lips: "Take me to see him" King Qin was still not fully awake, looking at me drowsily with a pair of drunken eyes.
I smiled and said: "Brother Wuhuang is well" King Qin let out a wine burp, and the strong smell of alcohol made me almost choke, so I retreated.

Just now he said: "Brother, can you know your guilt?"
King Qin didn't seem to hear me clearly.
I winked, and Jiao Xin picked up the bucket of cold water that had been prepared and poured it into his pocket.
King Qin suddenly shuddered, and then sneezed several times in succession, and the drunkenness in his body suddenly disappeared.
He opened his eyes wide and said, "Yinkong."
His tone was full of surprise, and he obviously didn't expect how I came to him.
I smiled and nodded: "Brother Five Emperors has a really good memory, and he hasn't forgotten me yet."
King Qin sneered and said: "You are the current crown prince and the future emperor who is inferior to one person and surpasses ten thousand people.
How dare I forget you?"
I repeated what I just said and asked: "Can Brother Five Emperors know his sin?"
King Qin's expression changed and he roared angrily: "What do you think I am guilty of?"
I sighed and said: "Even now, my brother is still stubborn and has no regrets.
I'm afraid that if this continues, even my father won't be able to help you."
The more King Qin listened, the more frightened he became, and he said in a trembling voice: "What on earth did you say?"
I said sternly: "You colluded with Zuo Zhuliu and planned to murder my father.
To usurp the great wealth, the evidence is conclusive, do you still want to quibble?"
King Qin finally understood.
He said in shock: "Where is the father?
Where is the father?
I want to see the father.
I want to prove my innocence."
I sneered and stood up.
King Qin roared behind me: "Long Yinkong, you traitor, did you murder my father and now you want to murder me?"
I said to Jiao Xin: "Take him to Guangde Hall, and I will tell his charges in front of all the ministers."
Jiao Xin said loudly: "I obey my orders."
King Qin scolded: "Long Yingkong, why do you have to blame me for what you have done, you bastard?"
Jiao Xin roared: "Slap me until he can't speak anymore."
Two warriors rushed forward, one twisted King Qin's arm, and the other slapped King Qin hard on the mouth.
King Qin had always been well-dressed and well-off, but he had never suffered such a hardship.
In the blink of an eye, his cheeks were swollen.
He got up, his mouth was covered in blood, and although he was still cursing, his words were slurred and turned into a whine.
I arrived at the Guangde Hall an hour later.
The princes, nobles, and ministers were all waiting patiently in the hall.
No one dared to leave, and no one dared to show any impatience.
I did not walk into the main hall according to the royal way of a king, but through the main door of the main hall.
The ministers lowered their heads, and no one dared to look directly at me.
I asked the guards to bring a chair and place it next to the dragon chair.
This was a demonstration and a statement that I had no intention of immediately taking over Emperor Xinde's position.
I looked around at the ministers, and a feeling of condescension arose spontaneously.
The faces that I had been close to in the past suddenly seemed much farther away.
Emperor Xinde's words suddenly rang in my ears: "There are few people and few people."
Gaining also means losing.
I don’t know if I will change in the future, and I don’t know what I will lose.
Everyone was looking forward to my speech.
I was silent for a long time, and then I said: "Father's condition is getting more serious."

There was a sigh of relief among the ministers.
I glanced down coldly, and the voice suddenly fell silent.
I sighed and said: "A sad thing happened today.
Someone among my royal brothers actually intended to plot rebellion."
My sharp eyes glanced at where the princes were, and they all lowered their heads in fear.
My eyes fell on them.
He Wang Long Tianci came out at the right time and said angrily: "Your Highness, which traitor is so bold as to do such a treasonous and unethical thing?"
I said slowly: "He is King Qin Long Yinli."
As soon as my words came out, several of the princes had already changed their expressions.
Several of them used to be supporters of King Qin, but now that King Qin's rebellion has happened, of course everyone Self-danger.
I shouted: "Bring him in for me" Four warriors escorted Long Yinli in, who was beaten with a bruised nose and face.
Long Yinli was still whining, but no one could hear what he said clearly.
In fact, even if they could hear clearly, what's the use?
Who dares to stand up for him under such circumstances?
Jiao Xin presented Long Yinli's confession and said: "Your Highness, Prince Qin, Long Yinli has confessed to the conspiracy."
The young eunuch in front of the palace presented the confession to me, and I glanced through it.
The confession was not written by Long Yinli, but the fingerprint on the signature was indeed his.
I sighed and knocked on the dragon case sadly: "Brother, my father has treated you with great kindness.
Our brother's love for you is as strong as gold, but you actually did such a thing.
How do you face my father?
How do you face us brothers, how do you stand up to my ancestors of the Long family?"
Long Yinli was suffering from the inability to distinguish, and his throat made a hissing sound.
If he were free at this moment, he would definitely eat my flesh and blood.
He Wanglong Tianci said angrily: "What's the use of keeping such an unfaithful and unfilial traitor in the world?"
There were many echoes from the crowd.
When I was about to give the order, a man came out from the left column of the ministers, but it was Huang Duanfang, the great master of Dakang.
He was the mentor of many princes, and Long Yinli was also his student.
I Although there is no I had studied with him, but I had already heard about his outspoken character.
When I saw him coming out, I had already guessed his purpose and thought to myself: "If Huang Duanfang attacks me on the spot, I will have no choice but to feel sorry for him." ” Huang Duanfang said loudly: "Your Highness, the old minister believes that treason is not a trivial matter.
It is best to treat this matter with caution.
His Highness decided that King Qin was guilty based only on a confession.
I am afraid it is unfair and difficult to convince the public."
I smiled calmly and said, "What does Mr.
Huang think is fair?"
Huang Duanfang said: "I believe that this matter needs to be handed over to a special person for trial, and all the witnesses and physical evidence must be collected.
After all, Prince Qin is the prince, and the prince should also give him a chance to plead his case."
He Wanglong Tianci sneered: "Master Huang, are you kidding me?
King Qin has already pleaded guilty.
The evidence is conclusive, so there is no need for another trial."
Huang Duanfang said: "Since King He said that King Qin has confessed his crime, then you should ask him again in front of everyone whether he has conspired to rebel."
Although King Qin could not speak, he could still hear.
He heard Huang Duanfang's words clearly.
He whined and shook his head desperately, which naturally meant that he had not done anything rebellious.
King He sneered and said: "It's a joke, of course he won't admit it at this moment."
There are many people among the ministers who want to see my joke.

Huang Duanfang came forward to make many people secretly happy.
If the matter of King Qin cannot be resolved as soon as possible, it will be very detrimental to my ability to intimidate everyone and control the imperial court.
I said calmly: "Both adults are right.
In this case, we will adjourn the case of King Qin for another trial.
We will first strip him of his throne and put him in a prison."
Huang Duanfang actually spoke again: "Your Highness, Prince Qin is still a prince even if he is deprived of his throne.
It seems inconsistent with etiquette to put him in a prison.
We will make a decision after your Majesty is informed about this matter."
There was a burst of anger in my heart.
This Huang Duanfang really didn't understand the current affairs.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty didn't understand that I had taken control of the political power of Dakang.
They were all scrambling to get rid of the relationship with King Qin, but he wanted to stand up to me.
Did he have to do it?
He will only give up if he irritates me Just when I was about to speak, someone outside the palace suddenly reported: "Your Highness, the prince, the rebel Zuo Zhuliu has been captured by King Yi and has been escorted outside the palace at this moment."
All the ministers were shocked, and I finally felt relieved.
He took a deep breath to calm down as quickly as possible, and said loudly: "Let him in."
King Yi strode into the Guangde Hall, with two warriors escorting Zuo Zhuliu and following behind him.
Zuo Zhuliu's expression was calm and calm.
As usual, he was still the Prime Minister among thousands of people.
King Yi couldn't restrain his inner joy.
Being able to capture the biggest enemy in his life with his own hands was what he had always dreamed of, and today he finally got his wish.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, but Zuo Zhuliu's eyes were only fixed on me.
We both understood each other's thoughts.
I nodded slowly and said, "The Prime Minister Zuo is here."
A smile appeared on the corner of Zuo Zhuliu's lips: "If you succeed, you will be a prince, and if you fail, you will be a bandit.
Zuo is now a guilty person, why does your highness need to be called so?"
No one knows the secret between Zuo Zhuliu and me.
He should have had a chance to escape, but he still returned and confessed.
Someone must take responsibility for the palace change.
I felt heavy and sighed in a low voice: "Father treats you well, why does Zuo Xiangguo want to rebel?"
Zuo Zhuliu smiled calmly and said: "Who in the world doesn't want to ascend the high throne?
Hasn't the prince thought this in his heart?"
"Bold" King Yi shouted angrily.
I stopped King Yi from continuing with a wink.
Zuo Zhuliu said: "Before Zuo's palace changed, he had already thought about what would happen today, and he had no regrets in his heart."
I said in a low voice: "It's such a no-hate and no-regrets.
Who did you plan together with the palace change?"
Zuo Zhuliu sighed and said: "This matter was jointly planned by King Qin and I.
It has nothing to do with others.
I hope the prince will not involve others."
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials in the court suddenly let out a sigh.
Huang Duanfang lowered his head sadly.
With Zuo Zhuliu's strong certification, it was difficult for King Qin Long Yinli to escape his guilt.
I turned to the ministers and said: "Brother Five Emperors and Zuo Zhuliu are planning to usurp the throne.
The evidence of their crimes is lacking and cannot be doubted.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
What do you think should be done?"
Congratulations to King Long Tianci once again came out and said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince.
As a prince, Long Yinli did not know how to be filial to His Majesty, and Zuo Zhuliu was a supporter of the well-off people but did not know how to be loyal to the country.
The crime of treason committed by the two of them is absolutely unacceptable.
Don’t be lenient, otherwise not only will you not be able to calm down the anger of the ministers, but you will also be unable to explain to the millions of people in Dakang.”
He paused and then said: "According to our Dakang laws, anyone who conspires to rebel shall be sentenced to death in Lingchi."
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yinli collapsed on the ground.
Zuo Zhuliu smiled disdainfully and said: "King He really remembers Dakang's laws clearly.
Zuo has something unknown, so I would like to take this opportunity to ask you today.
If someone commits adultery with the wife of an important official in the imperial court, according to Dakang's laws, What crime should be sentenced?"
He was clearly asking about the affair between King He and the wife of the Minister of Civil Affairs Wang Tuo.
According to the laws of Dakang, King He should be sentenced to castration.
Emperor Xinde just demoted him to Yulin, a small town in the west.
Prince He's face turned blue and white.
He was extremely embarrassed when Zuo Zhuliu exposed this matter in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
I secretly sighed in my heart.
It seemed that after all, I could not entrust Prince He with a heavy responsibility.
I could only let him act as a mouthpiece within the court.
It would be difficult for others to forget his misdeeds in the past.
King He said angrily: "Zuo Zhuliu, what is being investigated today is your crime of treason.
Don't change the subject."
Zuo Zhuliu smiled calmly and said: "Since it is a capital crime, it doesn't matter how it is executed."
He turned to King Yi: "Prince Yi, I am more willing to listen to your opinion than some villains who are either traitors or thieves."
I secretly thought something was wrong.
King Yi and Zuo Zhuliu have been fighting for decades.
How could he put forward any suggestions that would be beneficial to Zuo Zhuliu?
King Yi looked deeply at Zuo Zhuliu and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I believe that although Zuo Zhuliu has committed the crime of treason, he cannot be punished with Lingchi."
His answer was beyond my expectation.
"King Yi, please tell me your reasons."
King Yi said: "Your Majesty is seriously ill now and is no longer able to handle the government affairs.
Everything must be done by the prince.
Who among the civil and military officials in the court is not worried, and who among the people of Dakang is not fearful and uneasy?
Zuo Zhu The Zuo offense committed by Liuhe Wuhuangzi should be punished by Lingchi, but according to the laws of Dakang, there is another one, which is to punish the nine clans."
King Yi said: "If everything is done according to the old rules, I am afraid that every prince present will not be able to escape the disaster of death."
All the princes turned pale with fright.
I nodded.
King Yi was right.
If the nine tribes were killed, wouldn't I be included in them?
King Yi said: "Such a big event happened in the court.
If you want to convince all the ministers and make the people feel at ease, and implement virtuous governance, there is one more thing that I must make clear.
Zuo Zhuliu came to confess his crime on his own initiative, not me.
Caught” A knowing smile appeared on Zuo Zhuliu's lips, and he said calmly: "Among the officials of Dakang, the one I admire the most is you, King Yi.
I want to be friends with you the most, but you have become your enemy."
His words suddenly reminded me of Gao Guangyuan and Xu Wuchen.
Regardless of their different attitudes towards life, they were so similar.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Everyone's eyes were focused on my face, and they were all looking forward to my final decision.
I looked at Zuo Zhuliu and sighed deeply.
Among all the people present, only Zuo Zhuliu understood the true meaning of my sigh.
I don't want to kill Zuo Zhuliu out of love, but if I don't kill him, how can I explain the whole palace incident?
As Zuo Zhuliu said, he is not a loyal person, and there is no guarantee that he will not have disloyalty in the future.
If he regrets it in the future, my life experience will become His most effective weapon against me, and there was no way I was going to let that happen.
Zuo Zhuliu's turning back made me feel extremely lucky that he was worthy of my father and finally chose to come back.
If he takes this opportunity to hide from the world, Zuo Zhuliu will always be a pain in my heart.
I will have trouble sleeping and eating when I think that someone who knows my secrets is still alive in this world.
My voice was low and repressed: "The evidence for Zuo Zhuliu's rebellion is conclusive and beyond doubt.
His crime will never be forgiven.
I hope he will take the initiative to plead guilty and grant him a bloodless death."
I can be said to be particularly kind to Zuo Zhuliu.
To die without blood is to give him seven feet of white silk and let him commit suicide.
For a minister who has committed a serious crime of treason, this is the ultimate mercy.
Zuo Zhuliu let out a loud laugh, turned around and walked out of the hall.
King Qin was still collapsed on the ground.
I saw the appearance of his pustules and said coldly: "Brother Five Emperors, as a prince, you actually did such a treasonous thing.
Even if we are brothers, I can't spare your visit. , pushed him out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded him in half."
All the princes were shocked.
My kindness to Zuo Zhuliu and my cruelty to King Qin were in sharp contrast, and I thought repeatedly about how to deal with them.
Zuo Zhuliu was kind to me for one reason.
My tolerance towards him could calm down the panic of the officials.
But Prince Long Yinli is different.
Although my royal brothers and nephews recognize me as the crown prince, there are still many people who have a sneak peek at the throne.
I will kill Long Yinli.
I just want to set an example and let them know that I will never show mercy to my brothers, so that they can stop being rebellious.
After I finished handling the matter of Zuo Zhuliu and Prince Qin, the entire Guangde Hall was completely silent.
My combination of strength and softness made everyone begin to re-evaluate the weight of my crown prince.
I glanced around and said coldly: "My father is seriously ill.
He has entrusted me to temporarily take charge of state affairs.
If you have anything to do, please report it to me."
I originally planned to wait until Chen Zisu drafted the edict. , and then announced the matter of supervising the country , now that Zuo Zhuliu has taken the initiative to plead guilty and be punished, I have no scruples in my heart anymore.
In addition, Huang Duanfang dared to openly defend King Qin in the court just now, which has already angered me.
I simply told this matter personally and see.
Does anyone dare to object?
I waited for a long time and was convinced that no one would dare to step forward to speak.
I couldn't help but feel proud in my heart and said with a sneer: "The emperor's uncles, brothers, and nephews will stay, and the rest will retreat first."
The ministers retreated quietly, and in a blink of an eye, only our members of the Long clan were left in the Guangde Hall.
Because my brutal execution of Long Yinli just now made every member of the royal family feel terrified.
They all looked down at the ground, and no one dared to speak actively.
I sighed and walked down slowly from my high position.
The first one I walked towards was He Wang Long Tianci, who was accompanied by my other three imperial uncles.
Long Tianci said respectfully: "Your Highness the Crown Prince" I shook my head and said with a smile: "Uncle, why are you so polite?
In the court, you and I have different statuses, but in private, you are my uncle.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Just call me Yinkong."
I was just acting on purpose.
This is still the Guangde Hall, so Long Tianci naturally wants to address me as His Royal Highness.
Now that I have become the true leader of Dakang, even if I give him the courage to do so, he would not dare to call me by my name directly.
Long Tianci said: "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority.
His Highness the Crown Prince is now the supervisor of the country.
In our minds, he is already equal to the emperor of Dakang.
We should respect the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers." , His words touched my heart, and it was one of my purposes to use his words to clarify this matter to the royal family members.
I made a helpless expression and glanced at their faces one by one: "Since we are all a family, I will tell you the truth.
I, Long Yinkong, do not want to be a prince at all, let alone I don’t want to be a supervising country.
You all should know the situation in Dakang.
In the past few decades, the economy has continued to decline, and people’s trust in the court has continued to decline.
Dakang’s former dominance over other countries has been gone for many years.”
I stared at Long Yindong, the sixteenth emperor brother, and said: "Perhaps some of you think that the position of prince means supreme power and status, but have you ever thought about the responsibilities and obligations that come with being in this position?
This is a huge burden.”
I sighed again and said: "Don't think that what I said is hypocritical.
Every word and every sentence I said to you today is from the bottom of my heart.
If you think you can lead Dakang to prosperity, If I can lead the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and if I am qualified for the position of crown prince, I, Long Yinkong, will take the initiative to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of my title."
My His eyes were always fixed on my sixteenth emperor brother Long Yindong.
He has always been timid, and now he was frightened by me.
When I said these words, he could no longer hold on, and with a plop, He knelt down in front of me and said in a state of disbelief: "His Royal Highness, if I, Long Yindong, have even the slightest intention to disobey me, I will be struck by lightning and die badly."
I laughed, picked up Long Yindong with both hands and said: "Brother Sixteenth Emperor, I know that you have the softest heart among all the brothers.
When several of the imperial brothers beat me, you were the only one who didn't take action.
See My lip was broken and bleeding, but you were so scared that you cried."
Before I finished speaking, two more of my royal brothers knelt down.
I laughed and said, "If the emperor's uncles and nephews see what you are doing, they will definitely laugh at us."
The two royal brothers sobbed: "Your Highness, we deserved death.
In the beginning..."
I smiled even more heartily: "So, I don't want to be this prince, and now I don't even have the freedom to talk about an interesting childhood story.
Is it me who has changed, or have you changed?"
No one answered my question, either they didn’t dare or they couldn’t.
It seems that the former is more likely to be hungry.
I motioned them to stand up and told them: "Kangdu has been very uneasy these past two days.
Since I am in this position, I must shoulder this responsibility.
You are all my closest relatives.
Your safety is at this moment."
They are all concerned in my heart.
Without my summons, it is best for you to stay in your respective mansions for these two days.
As for the imperial brothers who are entrusted to other places, I will have people notify them as soon as possible to come to visit my father's condition.
When the time comes, our family can get back together again.”
It was already late at night when everyone dispersed, and I came to the Qinzheng Hall.
This was the room I specially asked them to prepare for me, because my father's ashes were stored here.
When I arrived at Qinzheng Palace, I saw King Yi waiting for me there.
I was slightly startled.
According to my thinking, he should have returned home by now.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
King Yi stood up and wanted to salute me, but I hurriedly stopped him and said, "There are no outsiders here.
My father-in-law does not need to be so polite."
King Yi then sat back on his chair and said with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, I am here to discuss a few things with you."
I smiled and said, "Father-in-law, please tell me."
I secretly guessed that most of what King Yi was going to say was related to Concubine Jingde and her son.
As expected, King Yi said: "Concubine Jingde is seriously ill and it seems she will die soon."
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will find the best imperial doctor to treat her."
King Yi added: "She only has her son Yin Tao now.
I hope the prince will not argue with him about this matter."
I was keenly aware of the hidden meaning behind his words: "Father-in-law, has Long Yintao returned?"
King Yi pursed his lips, finally nodded and said: "Yes, your Majesty invited him to return to Kangdu, and he has indeed come back."
I frowned.
I had too many things to deal with right now, and I didn't consider Long Yintao's affairs.
Emperor Xinde's original intention of recruiting him back to Kangdu was to make him the prince and replace me.
From this point of view, I should kill Long Yuntao.
King Yi values family ties, but since he raised this matter, I can't do anything about it.
Furthermore, Long Yintao is An Rong's brother.
If I kill him, An Rong will definitely hate me. , in the current situation, An Rong is still of great use to me.
Even if I don't give King Yi this face, I still have to consider An Rong's feelings.
Thinking of this, I nodded slowly and said: "Father-in-law, since you have spoken, I will no longer pursue Long Yintao's matter.
However, I want him to return to Chuji, and he must not step out of Chuji in this life.
This matter is under your control.”
It was a blessing that King Yi could save Long Yintao's life.
He said happily: "Prince, don't worry, I will not let him have any objections, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation of this matter."
I sighed and said, "Father-in-law, why do you suddenly feel that our father-in-law and son-in-law have become a lot more different?
I still miss the time when we drank and played chess together."
King Yi said: "Today is different from the past.
You are already the true king of Dakang.
All that is missing is just a title.
The etiquette between us as king and minister must be respected."
I smiled and said, "If Chu'er sees us like this, he will definitely scold me."
Mentioning Chu'er, King Yi's eyes showed a look of love: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen my daughter for a long time.
She should be about to give birth."
Thinking of Chu'er's impeccably clean face, I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart.
I wished I could put aside the political disputes in front of me and return to the Green Sea Grassland immediately.
Share tenderness with all my lovely wives and concubines.
I whispered: "When Kangdu's condition stabilizes, I will have people pick them up."
King Yi said: "In two days, I will pick her up in person."
I smiled and nodded.
Chu'er's topic made the distance between us much closer.
I whispered: "How is Zuo Zhuliu's matter?"
I left the execution of Zuo Zhuliu to King Yi, that's why I asked this question.
King Yi said: "The execution is scheduled for noon tonight, and I will personally send him on his way at that time."
I sighed heavily.
King Yi said: "Are you reluctant to kill him?"

I said sincerely: "Zuo Zhuliu is indeed a rare talent, but it's a pity that he chose to be my enemy."
King Yi nodded with deep sympathy and said in a low voice: "I feel like Zuo Zhuliu suddenly changed his mind this time.
He withdrew Long Xiang's army when he had all the advantages that day, and then took the initiative to plead guilty.
This is different from His past actions are not consistent."
He looked at me and said, "What did His Highness talk to him?"
I whispered: "I just asked him, among the princes of Dakang, who is more qualified to inherit the throne than me?"
King Yi sighed and said: "It's strange to say that I have been fighting with him for so many years.
When it came time for him to die, I still felt a little disappointed."
I lightly patted King Yi's arm and lowered my voice and said, "After Zuo Zhuliu died, you replaced his body with someone else's.
I don't want him to suffer other insults after his death."
King Yi nodded heavily.
After King Yi left, I asked someone to call Chen Zisu over to see the edict he had drafted for me.
This kind of thing is just a trivial matter to Chen Zisu.
I closed the edict with satisfaction and said: "I will make this edict public to the world tomorrow."
Chen Zisu smiled and said: "Is His Royal Highness in a good mood today?"
I shook my head and said, "To be honest with Mr.
Chen, I was thinking about this day and night when I didn't have the imperial power.
When I really had the power in my hands, I wasn't as happy as I expected.
Instead, I felt an indescribable feeling. heavy."
Chen Zisu said with a smile: "This sentence is enough to prove that the prince will become a good emperor.
The first thing he thinks of is responsibility, instead of sitting on three thousand beauties and indulging in the mountains, rivers and sounds like other emperors."
I smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I can't offload this burden.
By the way, Mr.
Chen, I have one more thing to discuss with you."
Chen Zisu smiled and said: "What a coincidence.
Zisu also has something to discuss with the Young Master, so the Young Master should talk first."
I smiled and said: "I want you to serve as the prime minister of Dakang.
I wonder what Mr.
Chen wants."
Chen Zisu smiled and said, "This is what Zisu wants to say."
I was slightly surprised and said: "It turns out that Mr.
Chen has already guessed it.
In this case, you will not reject me."
Chen Zisu shook his head and said: "What Zisu wants to say is that I am not suitable for this position, and I hope that the young master will choose someone else."
I was startled.
I didn’t expect that Chen Zisu would not be the prime minister.
I whispered: "Mr.
Chen’s talents are obvious to all.
Not to mention that you are the prime minister of Dakang.
Even after the unification of the Eight Kingdoms, you are qualified to be the prime minister of the world. " Chen Zisu said with a smile: "Zisu is a bohemian person.
If he becomes the prime minister, he will definitely become the laughing stock of other officials.
Furthermore, Zisu does not like being restricted by official positions.
After becoming the prime minister, he will definitely lose a lot of freedom.
Moreover, my current status , can call you As a young master, when I face you, I don’t have to stick to the many etiquettes of the monarch and his ministers.
The less constrained my mind is, the more flexible it will be.
